Thanks to everyone who reviewed this story so far. I'm glad you all like this story. This chapter is now about Chris' first school day. He is six and Wyatt eight years old. Phoebe is pregnant like she saw in her vision quest in "The legend of sleepy Halliwell".
Chapter 3: The best brother and friend
"It's okay, I'll bring them to school" a very pregnant Phoebe said to Piper. She was refering to Wyatt and Chris. It was the first school day for the younger one of them and Piper felt a bit guilty that she couldn't bring her children there by herself. But she had a very important meeting in the club. And Leo was in one of the two meetings with the elders he had to go in a month.
"Are you sure? I mean you're pregnant…"
"…and not invalid" Phoebe ended her sentence, sounding a lot like her older sister, when she had been pregnant.
Piper gave her one more uncertain look, but then she sighed "Okay but make sure Chris finds his class and Wyatt…"
"…looks after him. Yeah, yeah" Phoebe again cut her off. "As if Wyatt wouldn't do that anyways."
Piper smiled. She knew that she don't have to worry about her baby boy. His older brother wouldn't let anything happen to him. At this point the two kids walked into the kitchen. They grined sheepishly and Piper raised her eyebrows suspiciously. "Okay what have you done?"
Wyatt looked at her innocently. "Nothing mom."
Piper turned to Chris but he just shrugged "Really mommy."
Then Leo entered the kitchen "Good morning everyone." He went over to his wife and wanted to kiss her but she stepped away. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in your meeting with the elders?"
"Er…" Leo looked back to his sons. "Yeah but I decided that I could miss one of them."
Piper was happy about the fact that Leo cared so much about being there on Chris' first school day, but she was also worried. The elders had allowed him to stay with his family but just when he still goes to the meetings and don't break any rules. Well, not any more rules. She turned to her sons. "You called him?" The guilty look on their faces said everything.
"Listen honey" Leo said to her, knowing what concerned her. "I'm sure the elders are fine with this. The meeting is not so important, just the usual stuff. And right after Wyatt and Chris are in school, I'll orb back up there."
"Please mommy, let him stay" Chris pleaded, making a face he knew that his mother couldn't say no to.
She sighed. "Okay, but the next time you call your dad out from a meeting, you first come to me before you do it, right?"
Wyatt and Chris nodded happily and Piper finally let Leo kiss her. "Thanks" he said smiling brightly. She just smiled back. "Leo I'm happy that you're doing this. Just make sure they not freaking out up there."
Leo nodded, then walked over to his sons. He picked Chris up from the floor "Are you ready for your first school day?"
"Yeah!" Chris shouted excitedly. He had wanted to go to school since Wyatt had to, so he could be with his brother in the mornings again.
"Okay then lets go" Leo said and walked out with Wyatt and Chris.
"Hey! Wait for the pregnant lady!" Phoebe shouted and went after them as fast as she could.
Wyatt was sitting nervously in his class. He was worried if his little brother was alright even though he knew there was no reason why he shouldn't. Chris was the greatest brother Wyatt could imagine and also his best friend. He was sure that Chris had no problems making friends with his school mates.
But still, what if Chris was scared or he needed his help? But no, Chris was fine. Wyatt knew it. He would feel it if anything happened to his little brother. Suddenly the voice of his teacher pulled him out of his thoughts. "Wyatt could you please tell me the solution from this calculation?"
"Er…" Wyatt quickly looked down at his booklet. He was sure everything he had written was correct but he didn't know what the question was. "90?" he tried.
The teacher smiled. "Correct." She turned to the board and wrote the solution down. Wyatt sighed in relief but suddenly he started panicking. He heard his brother calling him and he sounded very sad. Wyatt raised his hands and froze everyone in the room. Then he quickly orbed away to his brother.
He found him in the corridor, sitting on the floor, his head on his knees. Wyatt went over to him and kneeled down. "Chris what's wrong? What happened?"
His little brother looked up at him and Wyatt could see that he'd been crying. Wyatt started to get angry at whoever had caused this, but he stayed calm and wrapped his arms around Chris. "Hey, everything is fine. I won't let anything happen to you" he said softly.
Chris immediately calmed down and a little smile appeared on his face. He knew that his brother said the truth, but still… "Wy? Are we freaks?" he asked lowly.
His brother pulled away from him, shocked. "What? Who said this?"
"Two boys in my class. They were talking about a TV-Show about witches. And as I said that I believe in magic they called me a freak" Chris explained, again with tears in his eyes.
Wyatt hugged him again. "We're not freaks Chris. You know what mom tells us, we are special. Magic is a gift and just because some people don't understand this, it's not bad."
Chris stopped crying. Wyatt was right. His mother had always said this and everytime Chris or his brother discovered a new power, then her eyes lit up with proud. Yes, magic was a good thing. "Thanks, Wy" he said.
Wyatt released him and looked at him seriously "You're the best brother and friend in the whole world Chris. And don't let anyone tell you something else."
Chris nodded and stood up from the floor with his brother. "And if those boys call you a freak again, then tell me and I show them some of our freaking stuff" Wyatt added, after they were standing.
Chris laughed lightly. His brother always managed it to make him feel happy again, no matter how sad he was. "I love you Wy."
Wyatt smiled "I love you too, lil' brother. Now, can you go back to your class or should we call dad to take you home?"
"No I'll go back. You heard mom in the morning. We shouldn't call dad on his meeting days, just if it's an emergency."
"But if you don't want to go back…" Wyatt started but Chris cut him off.
"Then I have to go back tomorrow anyway. And I still have to unfreeze the people in my class."
Wyatt grined. "You too? Well, then we should better go back. I'll come over here after this school hour okay?"
Chris nodded "Okay."
Wyatt gave his little brother another encourage smile, then he orbed away to his class. Chris took a few breaths and then walked back to his class too. There he sat down and unfroze the people. The teacher started again to talk about the things they would do in this year. Chris looked back to the boys who had called him a freak and grined. He knew that Wy didn't lie when he said he would show them some freaking stuff and it was really funny to imagine their faces when they would saw that magic really excisted.
Phoebe smiled as she saw her nephews running towards her out of the school. "Hey how was your day?" she asked, once they had arrived by her.
They looked at each other then Chris said "Great. My teacher is very friendly and I met a girl that is really nice. Her name is Bianca and we played together in the break."
"That's great sweetie" Phoebe responded smiling.
Just then Piper arrived with her car. She quickly went over to them and hugged her sons. "And? Was everything okay?" she asked.
"Yes mom. We had a great day. Chris is getting along great with his class mates and he has Mrs. Calbright as teacher" Wyatt answered. His younger brother was once again staring at Phoebes swollen belly.
"Oh she's really nice, isn't she Chris?" Piper exclaimed.
Chris nodded. "Yeah she is." He looked at his aunt. "Is there really a baby in your belly, Aunt Phoebe?"
She smiled. "Yes. And in three months you can meet her."
"And how did the baby get into your belly?" Chris asked curious.
"Well, you see when two people really love each other and decide to spend a night…"
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled.
Phoebe looked at her innocently. "What?"
Piper shook her head in disbelief and amusement. Then she knelt down to Chris. "You know, when two people really wish to have a child then this is what happens." She pointed at Phoebes belly.
"Is that magic?" Chris asked.
"Kind of…" Phoebe said with a ironic grin.
"Okay let's go home" Piper said to her sons before her younger sister could say anything more.
Authors note: I know that Bianca is in the show a few years older as Chris, but I wanted them to meet in school, so don't be confused or so.
